description 5G new radio (5G-NR) enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) scenario demands a high data throughput of up to 20Gb/s, leading to an urgent need for low complexity and high throughput decoding algorithms for 5G-NR low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes, the coding scheme of 5G eMBB data channel. Quantization of input and intermediate signals enables the data throughput enhancement and the computation and storage overhead reduction of LDPC decoder, but confronts the problem of performance degradation. In addition, conventional analysis tools show limitation on the accurate asymptotic performance prediction of quantized and normalized LDPC decoding algorithms. In this paper, we first introduce modified multi-edge type density evolution (MET-DE) to the asymptotic performance prediction of quantized and adaptive normalized min-sum algorithm (ANMSA). Then we adopt adaptive asymmetric quantization strategy for MET LDPC codes, combine it with conventional adaptive normalization technique, and further propose adaptive quantized and normalized min-sum algorithm (AQNMSA), which significantly alleviates the performance degradation of fixed quantized and normalized min-sum algorithm (NMSA) with negligible increment of computational complexity. Concurrently, we provide a novel look-up table design algorithm for AQNMSA based on the analysis tool of modified MET-DE. Finally, we apply AQNMSA to 5G-NR LDPC codes with a very low quantization bit-width of 4 bits for intermediate signals, and observe a comparable or superior decoding performance compared with its float-point non-adaptive counterparts under multiple code rates.
